Abstract

In order to analyze how the entrepreneurship affects the commercialization performance in relation to R&D input factors, technological innovation and technology in the course of technology commercialization process. Korean manufacturing venture companies has been surveyed. The structural equation model showed technology commercialization mechanism driven by entrepreneurship. Innovativeness is one of the most important factors in the success of venture firms. Technology commercialization was dependent on innovation rather than the input of research and development resources. Technological innovation shows mediating effects in the influence of entrepreneurship on commercialization performance, but technology capability has relatively small effect. Commercialization process of new product development and product improvement was different. The government needs to actively support R&D strategies and commercialization infrastructure in order to promote innovation, assist R&D workforce and enhance product commercialization in venture companies.

벤처기업이 성공하기 위해 가장 중요한 요소인 기업가정신이 기술상업화 과정에서 연구개발 자원, 기술혁신, 그리고 기술이 어떻게 작용하는지를 살펴보기 위하여 제조업분야 벤처기업을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 구조방정식모형을 분석함으로서 기업가정신이 기술상업화를 이루는 메카니즘이 규명되었다. 기업가정신 중에서 혁신성이 가장 중요한 요인이었고, 기술상업화는 연구개발 자원보다는 기술혁신에 의해서 크게 영향을 받았다. 기술혁신이 상업화에 매개역할을 하고 있지만 연구개발 자원과 기술역량은 상업화에 매개 역할이 되지 못하였다. 제품개선에 의한 매출 신장과 신제품 개발에 의한 매출 신장의 기술상업화 과정은 서로 다른 양상을 보였다. 정부는 벤처기업의 기업가정신 함양에 의한 혁신 촉진과 연구개발 인력뿐만 아니라 벤처기업의 상업화 제고를 위해서는 연구개발 전략과 상업화 인프라 조성에 대한 적극적인 지원과 연구가 필요하다.
